Savannah, GA's Circle Takes The Square recently entered the studio to begin work on their new album, Decompositions Part I. The group has already posted several text and video updates to their blog since January 1, which would suggest that this news isn't a red herring like the news about their recording plans way back in May 2008. We'll keep you posted as more details emerge.

Once out, Decompositions Part I will follow up the band's 2004 full-length As The Roots Undo.

"They have said that the new record will be titled Ritual of Names, and will be one long piece of music broken into seven tracks. They have also stated that Ritual of Names will be part of an even larger project called Decompositions."

This is just starting to sound crazy, like they're taking album structure advice from Claudio Sanchez and Sufjan Stevens...
